Chapter 108 Who are you going to punish?
Bai Chuxiao remained calm at the old lady's words and continued to drink tea leisurely. Want to punish her? Then wait until night. You can dream about anything when you fall asleep!
Bai Linnan's eyes sank slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke calmly, "Mother is right. Miss doesn't respect her elders, doesn't care for her younger brother, and disturbs the family home. She will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for five days and reflect on her mistakes. Come! Take Miss away!"
This is the Bai family. No matter how noble the eldest daughter is, she still respects the prime minister. No one dares to disobey him. The housekeeper Lai Fu brought a group of guards in and surrounded the Liuli Courtyard.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but sneer. It was a bargain for this little girl to be punished to kneel for five days after beating Haoyun like this... But she also knew that it was not easy to punish this little girl now. This was also because of the master's request, otherwise how could these guards and servants in this mansion obey obediently?
Qingshuang and Qingzhu stepped forward calmly. Bai Chuxiao stood up and smiled slightly, "Father should know my temper."
Bai Linan's face was gloomy, "Why can't your father punish you?"
Considering the princess's status and the face of the King of Yan, kneeling in the ancestral hall was a light punishment. If he did nothing and let this rebellious girl do whatever she wanted, how could he, the left prime minister, maintain his authority in the palace?
"Father, you can punish me as you please. Whether I listen or not is my own business."
"Miss, please!" Lai Fu immediately bowed and gestured after receiving Bai Linan's gaze, but he didn't dare to do anything too much.
"Where do you want to take my princess to, Prime Minister Bai?" Chu Tianze walked in with Mo Yan and Mo Wen with icy faces. He turned back because he remembered that he had something to tell Xiao Xiao. He didn't expect to see Xiao Xiao being bullied when he arrived...
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yan," everyone saluted
Chu Tianze stared at Bai Linan coldly, but did not shout. All the servants could only kneel on the ground with their heads down. In the past, Chu Tianze had always respected the old and loved the young, and he had never asked the old lady to bow to him. But today, the old lady dared to punish Xiao Xiao, so don't blame him for not giving her face. So the old lady could only tremble and maintain the posture of blessing.
Bai Linan bowed and said, "Your Highness, the eldest girl made a mistake. As her father, I punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall according to the family rules. There is nothing wrong with that."
Chu Tianze had no expression on his face and said calmly, "Oh? Then how about this prince and the princess kneel together in the ancestral hall?"
Bai Linan was startled, and quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
"Don't dare? Xiaoxiao is the princess appointed by my father and my future princess. You dare to shamelessly ask her to kneel in the ancestral hall. When we get married, you will become my father-in-law. Will you still discipline me on behalf of my father?"
Bai Linan was horrified. Replacing Emperor Wenxuan to discipline the Prince of Yan? If such disrespectful words were to reach His Majesty's ears, his position as the Left Prime Minister would probably be over.
"I have absolutely no such intention!"
Chu Tianze snorted coldly, "What do these guards want to do by surrounding my princess's courtyard?"
Bai Linan hurriedly shouted behind him, "Get out of here!"
The group of people who were originally aggressive could only retreat in disgrace.
Chu Tianze then stepped forward, took Bai Chuxiao's hand, who was looking at her with a faint smile, and sat aside. After glancing around, he spoke in a deep voice, "Who is this idiot?"
The person who asked this question was naturally Bai Haoyun. Bai Haoyun had been silent since Chu Tianze came in. He leaned on Aying as if he had no strength at all. His whole body was in pain, so he couldn't sit or stand.
Qing Shuang quickly spoke up, "Your Highness, this is the eldest young master of the mansion. As soon as the princess came back, the eldest young master came to the door and disrespected the princess. Not only did he call the princess by her full name, he also threatened that the princess should go and pay her respects to a concubine in the mansion. Then he shouted and killed the maids in Liuli Courtyard. The princess then taught him a lesson and gave him dozens of whips."
Chu Tianze looked at the woman beside him and said in a reproachful manner, "Xiaoxiao, you are too kind. A few dozen lashes are not enough. Besides, the beating was too light. How can he still be standing?"
Kindness? The people in Bai Mansion couldn't help but complain in their hearts, is the King of Yan blind? What does the eldest lady have to do with kindness? She is clearly a demon!
Bai Chuxiao blinked and smiled, "He is my younger brother after all, and he has to take an exam in a few days."
Chu Tianze said calmly, "Xiaoxiao is really kind-hearted. In my opinion, breaking your leg is a light punishment for disrespecting you. Don't say anything or ask any questions!"
Seeing the two people walking towards Bai Haoyun, and seeing the miserable state of the Second Young Master Wei, the old lady and Mrs. Xie panicked. They immediately knelt down and shouted, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Haoyun was young and it was all unintentional..."
Bai Linan was also a little flustered. He only had one son, and if he was crippled, he would be gone. "The eldest girl has already taught him a lesson. I beg the prince to spare Haoyun."
Chu Tianze sneered, "The princess has already shown mercy, but you are still dissatisfied with her. You are taking advantage of me. Do you think you can punish my princess?"
Bai Linnan immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just came back and didn't understand the truth of the matter, so I misunderstood the eldest girl. This time it was indeed Haoyun's fault, and he has been punished. Considering that the autumn examination is only a few days away, please forgive him."
Bai Haoyun was also panicking. Hearing that the King of Yan was going to break his legs, how could a disabled person make a name for himself in the future? So he knelt down with difficulty, enduring the pain in his body, and said, "Big brother-in-law, spare my life."
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Haoyun who changed his words immediately. She felt a little bored. How come all the children of Xie family are so cowardly? If he continued to curse her, she would still think highly of him. But now he was so spineless, it was hard for her to tease him...
"Alright, get out of here. Aunt Xie, remember to come and kneel down and pay your respects every day. Do you understand? If I send someone to ask about it again..."
Xie wanted to protest, but when she looked up, she saw the murderous intent in Chu Tianze's eyes. How could she dare to say anything? She could only lower her head again and replied with humiliation on her face, "Yes, sir."
Chu Tianze also spoke coldly, "Remember this leg first. If anyone dares to bully the princess again, don't blame me for being rude..."
Everyone in the Bai Mansion was angry but dared not speak out. Prince Yan was too protective of his people and lied with open eyes. It was clearly the princess who bullied them!
"Your Majesty, I will not disturb you and the girl anymore."
Chu Tianze nodded calmly, and everyone retreated in a hurry. There were two evil gods in here, so it would be better not to come to Liuliyuan in the future.
Bai Linan, who had left the Liuli Courtyard, looked at his son who was carried on a stretcher with an ugly face. Chu Tianze came to his house to show off his power. It was obvious that he did not take him, the left prime minister, seriously. He was just a prince. When the new emperor came to power one day, with his arrogant personality, how could he tolerate him... Just wait!
The group returned to the Luming Courtyard where Bai Haoyun lived, carefully moved Bai Haoyun to the bed, and invited an old doctor to
The old lady sat beside the bed, feeling distressed, and kept muttering things like "Grandson, how are you?"
"Master, what will happen to Haoyun after three days?" Xie wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Bai Linan's face was gloomy. "Take good care of him. If you can go, go. If not, wait for next time. Haoyun is still young anyway, there is no need to rush."
